Re: Discussion: Release Team Field Drawings Early
I really like this. Mentoring a team that struggled to build fields in 2015 and 2016, the chokehold was...
a. figuring out how much wood we needed and of what type
b. getting all the parts cut. Since we didn't have the required woodworking equipment, we had to rely on parents willing to donate time and therefore work around their schedules.
Once we got all the parts made, assembly went off quickly and relatively painlessly.
Getting simply the part drawings ahead of time would be a huge help. Even if they did give us exact quantities, I don't think there's much you can learn ahead of kickoff trying to piece the subassemblies together without any idea of what the full assembly is supposed to be.
